Lawmakers kept the government funded temporarily as talks continued, with a lame duck session likely after the campaigns.

Clinton signs plan to move Moab uranium mill tailings
President Clinton signed a military authorization bill shaping a cleanup of 10.5 million tons of radioactive waste from the Atlas uranium mill near Moab Utah. The plan moves tailings away from the Colorado River, with a funding mechanism tied to 84 000 acres returned to the Ute tribe which would receive 80 to 100 million dollars from oil and gas revenues to aid cleanup. The Energy Department will study relocation options and a site 18 miles away was proposed by locals.
